The place is really lovely with a beautiful view. I came in a rooftop tent on a somewhat low Seat, but I got through without any problem. I didn't have any mosquitoes, but apparently neither did my kitten? Another advantage is that there is really plenty of space.
The spot is magnificent and accessible via a stone and gravel track. The view is beautiful, with a 360-degree panorama. There is indeed a little cat that comes asking for cuddles and food. It is magical. However, the gendarmerie came at 9:50 p.m. to tell us we could not sleep there. They were issuing a warning and told us that another patrol would come early in the morning to issue fines. So we left.
The gendarmes came by to warn us; the entire southern Ardèche is a no-wild-camping zone. But otherwise, it is a superb place.
A beautiful, peaceful spot with a magnificent view and plenty of space to settle in and enjoy nature. The icing on the cake is the site’s owner, an adorable little black cat, who gently comes to collect his tax—a little water, a cuddle, and a meal! A simple and magical moment.
Pleasant and peaceful spot. A little black cat watches over the place in exchange for some water, food, shade from your vehicle, and cuddles. So don't hesitate to visit!
Great view, very quiet, and you may find some shade. The only drawback, and a significant one, is an impressive number of mosquitoes! We couldn't sleep there.
We have just spent two days here, since our first visit in August 2021. Still as perfect, peaceful, and wonderful as ever. Let's all preserve this little piece of paradise.
Superb spot, very quiet, in the middle of nature. Very popular!
for us it is great! relaxed in nature and good for our dog to be free!
Great spot, I recommend it!
Very good spot, fairly busy but with room for everyone. If you cannot find a place, a parking area a little farther up is available. Please leave this beautiful spot clean! Beautiful view for watching the sunset.
Great spot even for a motorhome, very accessible and very quiet.
Beautiful place in nature with an unobstructed view over the scrubland. Very quiet.
Perfect: quiet, nice view, and plenty of space.
Plenty of space. You can hear the road a little, but there is little traffic. A great place with a lovely view and slightly sloping ground.
Very good location, easy to access, and quiet. Ideally situated between Balazuc and Chauzon. There is plenty of room for several vehicles.
Easy to access, with lots of space so vehicles do not get in each other's way. Clean—so let's keep it that way—nice view, in the heart of the Ardèche scrubland, with plenty of paths for walking.
Really top-notch spot! The view is sublime, access is very easy, and the area is large enough that vehicles do not get in one another's way. However, it is quite exposed to the wind when it blows strongly.
Very beautiful place, relatively easy to access, and very quiet despite the small road passing fairly close by. Magnificent views at both sunrise and sunset. Thank you!
Peaceful place with plenty of space. We were three vans here overnight and others a little farther away. Little shade, but a lovely smell of wild thyme.
Great night. Four spaces where you are not too close to one another, and more beyond. Set back from a busy road during the day, though it is not very bothersome thanks to the sound of the wind; quiet in the evening. Three great vans, one noisy one, sigh. It is also a shame that some people ignore discretion and use the nearby nature as a toilet: shovels exist, and a small van can be self-sufficient. Please preserve our environment and the little freedom we have left ;)
Very pleasant place with an easier access road; large vehicles can get there and there is plenty of space. Quite windy. Please collect your rubbish.
Space, lots of space... but at 10 p.m. someone had to come and park less than 5 meters away! Otherwise, a great spot with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Ideal if you have a dog. Clean place, easy access, but absolutely no shade.
Be warned: there is no shade.
Very nice spot, peaceful, and fairly easy to access. Lovely view and magnificent sunset.
A wonderfully peaceful place, perfect for a lovely evening and a quiet night.
Great place, quiet, with a superb unobstructed view! Plenty of space for several vehicles without being packed together. The track is easily accessible.
